Subject: Translation error in p742

In the translation of numbers of ताराः in each नक्षत्रं as described in verse 98-1 (नक्षत्रकर्मगुणं), interpretation from the भूतसङ्ख्याः are erroneous. Eg: पक्षं = 2 or 15?

Perhaps the authors haven't consulted the two famous commentaries?

Subject: Brihat Samhita (1946 edition)

Page Nos. 756 & 757 are missing form this magnum opus. Would like to request the uploader to please furnish these two missing pages.

Thanks.
